This is a fun book of all kinds of dinosaurs dancing the Dinosaur stomp!

Will work well for dinosaur storytimes and for music and movement programs.

This book is like a knock off of Dinosaurumpus and it is not nearly as good.

Genre: modern fantasy
Grade level:
I really enjoy reading this book. It is a fun read. This book would be great for reading aloud. I like the illustrations and how fun the words are that go along with it. It’s a book that’s all about dinosaurs having fun and hanging out.

this was fun and probably great to read aloud to children. too bad it unleashed a brontosaurus that destroyed our library.

This is a book that I would read to young children. It has very colorful pictures, cool dinosaurs, and it rhymes. I would definitely keep a child’s attention, because it is also not too long. This is about a cool party that is going to happen at the Dinosaur Stomp that night. All the dinosaurs are getting ready for the night. They are scrubbing their nails and curling their tails. Once they were all ready they headed over to the Dinosaur Stomp where the older ones got in groups and talked together, younger ones laughing together but a little nervous to get the party started. Then a band of dinosaurs started playing and everyone started singing and dancing the night away.

What It Is
You thought the dinosaurs are extinct. Well, they are not! They are simply sleeping off their last party – the Dinosaur Stomp. It was a Saturday night when all the dinosaurs went tromping off to dance super dino-dances like the brontosaurus bump. They danced so hard they rocked up an earthquake! Volcanoes provided the fireworks show for their party

Our Thoughts
I have been reading this book for over 4 years now – I first started reading it to my now 8-year-old son who still enjoys it and am now reading it to my 5-year-old little girl. We all love the rhyme and rhythm of this book.

It is a fun-read and one I have not minded reading over and over again all these years (that is a must for parents). We all love getting into the spirit of the book and go stomping and dancing and shouting ‘booma lacka, booma lacka, whack, whack, whack’!

The illustrations are a perfect match for the flowing, entertaining story. This was one book I decided to buy after the first read, as I knew I would be reading it many times again. My son (a dinosaur fan) and my daughter (not really into dinos) both love it.

One other related book that I have read and enjoyed (but do not own) is Dinosaurumpus

No, seriously, they *really* love to dance!

One of my son's all time favorites when he was little.

If only I knew all the pronunciation for the dinosaur names. Found myself tripping over this rhyming text because I just couldn't pronounce them quick enough to keep the rhyme going. Once I get it down it's sure to be a hit.

Beautiful, colourful illustrations and a very clever way to introduce the different dinosaur names (even if they were a bit of a tongue twister!). The rhyming element helped the bounce along and my son very much enjoyed the story.

A fun story that is best read out-loud with sound effects.
